Just Wanted to say Hello

Good Morning
Unique and different is how I would describe this newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I placed the Swirl Band stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink. I turned the stencil around and inked again in the other direction.
  • I lifted the stencil, cleaned it off and placed it down onto another piece of white cardstock.  I inked that up with some Villainous Potion DOX ink.
  • Using my circle dies, I cut pieces from the purple inked cardstock.  One circle from the center and then the ring from another part.
  • I placed the small circle into my Misti to stamp the sentiment.
  • I glued the blue panel onto a piece of purple cardstock, then onto an A2 sized white card base.
  • I used some foam tape to add the center circle, matching up the pattern and then added the ring in the same way.  

Here is the stencil I used:
